The Xbus has off-road 4WD too but not as aggressive and considering the likelihood of me taking it anywhere other than a little bit off the beaten path is minimal this isn’t for me. Add the fact the Xbus is made in Germany and it will likely take these guys many years to release this in Europe and I’m out. The Xbus is MUCH more spacious too, and it has 800W of solar up top and you’ve got free power with you, I feel like this is a very North American vehicle. Edit: £88k! Are you mental!

Ok host, so at first I thought the van was REALLY tall, but now that you have used yourself as a scale and thrown numbers at me, I realize that you would make most cars look tall, lol.

i like the idea of having a micro rv with space for a twin mattress, granted, i'd go for a fold down rear rail and push out kitchenette that hangs ABOVE the bed, so the bed can be lower, hanging curtain outside for toilet/shower, waste dehydrator, pretty much all i'd want for travel. for the chassis, a revival of the original citroen all round swingarm design for rough road... though torsion bars to lower the rear deck would work as well.

the canipe doors are interesting, but i suggest you make one of them a sliding door instead, in case of parking issues (in a city or at home). you do afterall have to park your car at home with maybe limited space or at a grocery store for supplies.

Complete with solar panels, a camper version, a pick-up, a people transporter, a cabrio etc etc. Up to 9 models of the Xbus, with several battery options and all models in offroad and onroad versions. And the price of that Xbus, is from €18k up. So, you can buy 5 x Xbus for that price. The Xbus will be build end 2023 at VDL Netherlands and will be for sale. The Camper version will be around €35k (with largest battery pack and offroad version), but comes with kitchen and beds etc. Max range up to 600km with all battery packs and solar. We were in at Electric brands in Germany to have a look at the Xbus. We will probably buy one next year.

@@neglectedloves yes, the op was referring to the moose test, I was replying to the op. You were saying how something completely unrelated would change my mind. I'm not trying to defeat physics. Cog (centre of gravity) is relevant to the physics of whether it would tip over, in a moose test. Or on a hill. But if it it tips over on a hill, doesn't mean it would tip over doing the moose test, so no, it wouldn't change my mind.

Looks like it can tip over quite easily.

Thank you for sharing.

Can’t wait for FCL in Vancouver! Hopping over from Victoria for a few days just for the show.

What a cool van. While the side doors opening like a hatch back is nice when camping, they may be problematic in the city when parked close to another vehicle. I do like the narrow and tall look.

The last thing I want in an off road vehicle is an EV dependent on the grid to get charged. Off-road is going to kill any range this thing might have. You won't get nearly the regenerative braking and the constant climbing is gonna drain it quick.

An electric kei car! Cool! I wish these vehicles are more commonplace and not in limited production. I would be so eager to go camping and roadtrips if I had one of these.

The thing with camping is that it's generally out in the stick's where there are no charging stations,,,,so I think a fold out foil solar panel is essential for a few days toping up whilst camping

Haven’t you all heard of current bushes? They are all over Canada! Just need to carry an extension cord and converter🤗

The main point for me is EV’s are to be simple to make & cheap to buy & run, compared to an ICE car there is a lot less components , so there is no reason for any electrical car to expensive unless they dial in a ton of extras or lots of design & marketing hype to boost profits. Who cares about prototyping if it’s end result will be way too expensive for the average person..

At last a car with windows and a view, let's hope they make a basic 2wd basic tarmac family version for every day town use, but at order people carrier price....oh yes must be rhd too❤

How would you charge it when it's dead in the woods ? Would the toe points actually stand up to a good dead pull? Does it rock crawl over big rocks ? Looks to top heavy.

Would love it as a work van.

EVs have many individual features that aren't strictly dependent on EV technology and could theoretically go into an ICE vehicle. However, once you combine the features they become impossible to accommodate in an ICE vehicle because of the need to design around the ICE's engine block and drivetrain. The Adventure 1 would be unthinkable as an ICE vehicle without massive undesirable trade-offs.

Not really, there are plenty of forward-control vans with ICE engines and 4x4. Mitsubishi Delica and Toyota HiAce are the most obvious.

@@waveman1500 One of the trade-offs the Delica had to make because of it's engine block is that the vehicle can't pass U.S. federal safety standards. And in Australia the vehicle was the *first ever to get a zero-star safety rating.* A small ICE vehicle is basically impossible to make safe.

The real value of Potential is the long-term data on off-road environments from customers driving around they'll have stored as well as having an off-road AI they can license out as it gets trained on more data and gets better.

That gullwing door is actually genius for something like this

30cm (11.8”) ground clearance is ridiculous. It appears to be tippy but the batteries and 40 liters of water36kilos (80lbs.) down low should counteract forces.

Yes, it does look cute. Another car it reminds me of is the UAZ Buchanka. With the current geopolitical situation no one is going to consider a Russian car of course, and rightly so, but that is another cute (and classic) little van that is also a true off-roading beast. This one though, at that price, is going to be a failure - if it ever reaches the market at all. Also I don't love all of the AI nonsense and the explanation by the engineer doesn't convince me.

Love the overall design and idea! Neat attachments, although it's a lot of window dressing. Few issues though: how do you plan to open the doors in a parking space? Much as it's an outdoor, off-road vehicle, you will still need to travel to a store to pick up supplies for your potential outing. Looks fantastic though. Hope they actually do some practical activities to work out the issues people would have in the future.

The huge price isn't justified solely by the smart off road assistance. As a van is small and lacks in festures. At 50k I would still not be fully convinced but maybe it will be devoloped further. Also no toilet, a key feature for many older campers
